Nigella Lawson vs. real women

1. Nigella’s Way
Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice-cream drips.
The Real Woman’s Way

2. Nigella’s Way
To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking tin, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won’t be any white mess on the outside of the cake.

If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it’s still cooking, drop in a potato slice.

If you over salt a dish while you are cooking, that’s tough! Please recite with me the Real Woman’s motto: ‘I made it and you will eat it and I don’t care how bad it tastes.’

5. Nigella’s Way
Wrap celery in aluminium foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks

Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and drop it in 8 ounces of vodka: Drink the vodka. You might still have the headache, but you won’t care

7. Nigella’s Way
If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

Why do I have a man?

8. Nigella’s Way
